Tea in the Garden -- Film Description:
"After graduating from high school and obtaining part-time work in the graphic arts industry, [Joyce] Wieland was given a permanent position with Graphic Arts, an animation company run by George Dunning. Here, she met other young Toronto painters (including Michael Snow, whom she would later marry) and with them made film parodies of work assignments like Salada tea commercials. One example is Tea in the Garden (1958) where Wieland plays a Lillian Gish–like heroine."
